(still researching)
- another Crown K2
- figure out how/where to mount even more Aura Bass Shakers!
- 100"+ screen and front projector, line doubler setup
(still researching)
- build some cables with Belden 89259 wire
- build a balanced XLR cable between one of the Rane PE17's and Crown K2.
- get another pair of Altec Lansing THX AHT-2100 dipoles to replace my
Boston Acoustics 575x dipoles.
- better analysis tools than my DOD RTA and my RadioShack SPL meter.
